This is an intimate, invitation-only event to honor our Top 30 Power Influencers: Nonprofit Executives.
As CEOs, we face many challenges, such as growth, people, revenue, alignment, board of directors, communication, focus, strategy, and workplace culture. There is a price to pay for being an effective leader. We thank our Nonprofit Influencers for leading our Southwest Florida community with grace in the face of challenge and adversity.
This event is a fun one full of food, drinks, networking, photographs, special tributes, awards, inspiration, and more. We hope to see you there!

Mr. Catti is also the former Chairman of the Florida Gulf Coast University Foundation, a former Trustee of Florida Gulf Coast University’s Board of Trustees, and the former Chairman of the Capital Campaign for the Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida.
